A UFO No Longer


I stitched this lovely whimsical girl a few months ago.
It was to be used as part of a folder
cover to commemorate the naming ceremony for my Great Niece.
It was done onto a vintage linen napkin with her name 
at the side.  The Pattern is one by Lilipopo
who does some really pretty bits.
  When it came to actually
making the cover I decided that it didn't really suit
so made it with just her name cross-stitched on the front.



That of course meant I had this just hanging around 
waiting for me to make something out of it,
 as, lets face it,  it was a waste not to use it.


So finally this week I have made it into a cushion
to take down with me next time I go West.







I have to say I'm really pleased with it,
 I hope her Mum and Dad feel the same.

Have a good day.
